After a deal with the mob goes disastrously wrong, Seungji is forced to flee Busan with nothing but her survival instincts. A risky smuggling job with a rival gang offers her a chance to escape for good, but it also places her directly under the command of a woman far more dangerous—and captivating—than she anticipated. As the operation unfolds, Seungji finds herself torn between staying alive and confronting feelings she can’t afford to indulge. In a world where trust is lethal, falling in love may be the greatest risk of all.
Falling is a sharp, tension-filled GL that thrives on atmosphere and emotional restraint. The romance doesn’t soften the criminal backdrop—it collides with it, creating constant friction between survival and vulnerability.
Seungji’s guarded nature makes every emotional step feel earned, while the smuggling leader’s calm authority adds gravity to their dynamic. Rather than rushing intimacy, the story lets attraction simmer beneath danger, giving the romance a raw, grounded feel.
This is a strong pick for readers who enjoy dark GL with crime elements, flawed characters, and romance forged under pressure.
